From what I hear, the IRS already has a problem with folks taking special exemptions for being decendants of slavery. With an invitation from Keyes, I'm sure those numbers will grow.

He is getting mileage out of these statements, I'm just afraid he is alienating conservatives and the liberals he seeks will not reward him in the voting booth. I'm no strategist, though.

"I'm no strategist, though."

That's OK...neither is Alan.

I would have advised Keyes to not bring this up AT ALL. It is alienating a lot of his base. If I was an Illinois voter, I'd have a real hard time voting for Keyes.
